When the roots of the strawberry runner are growing out of the base of it’s
pot, cut it away from the parent plant.

Grow the young plants on, allowing them to become well rooted, and plant
them out in the autumn.

    * Plant them quite shallow, with the base of the crown at soil
      level, so that they do not rot.
    * Start a new bed with the new runners.
    * Strawberries should only be grown in the same place for 4 years
      and then moved on. This is because viruses and pests build up in
      the soil which reduce the crop.
